Personal Stereo (Paperback)
Tuhus-Dubrow, Rebecca (Author)
Available for Order
£9.99
When the Sony Walkman debuted in 1979, people were enthralled by the novel experience it offered: immersion in the music of their choice, anytime, anywhere. But the Walkman was also denounced as self-indulgent and anti-social - the quintessential accessory for the 'me' generation. Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow takes us back to the birth of the device, exploring legal battles over credit for its invention, its ambivalent reception in 1980s America, and its lasting effects on social norms and public space.
